Notes / Commercial Description:
Our Eight Ball Stout is not for the faint of heart. It’s bold as hell and robust as can be, but it’ll reward your palate like no other stout. Roasted malts and heavy hops give it a flavor that will have you pouring another before you’re even finished with the first.

User Ratings & Reviews

8 oz serving tasted in a snifter from draft at Consume on January 19, 2018. Look is dark brown with a tan head and lingering lacing. Smell and taste is pretty one dimensional. Feel is creamy and smooth.

I love stout beers ... and this is a pretty good one. Not sure why they would describe this beer as "bold". It is nowhere near as rich and full-bodied as others I've enjoyed, Let's call it understated ... but tasty none the less.
Chocolate and roasted malt with a very subtle undertone of citrus and a dry finish. Delicious and oh so drinkable ... perhaps too drinkable.
Certainly my new favorite from Lost Coast.

Lost Coast 8 Ball stout is the first of my three stout tasting, bottle date Dec 28 2016, bought at World Market on May 13 2017. A little older than I like, but ..
this was the best stout I had tasted at that point...
Smooth, rich, balanced roast, not overly chocolate or coffee, just right. It still tastes like a perfectly made dark beer, with the perfect hints of those flavors we look for in a quality stout. Dryness finish factor is spot on, and well worth having again.

Smells of roasted malts, with a little bit of sweetness. Taste has hints of chocolate but seems like it's really watered down for a stout. I do like the slight hip presence that really saves this brew.

Pours dark with very little light passing through. Has a light colored head that goes away quickly. Can smell the roasted malts, with a little bit of sweetness. Taste has hints of chocolate and seems really watered down.
